“…There are only two empirical QCA papers on EO and ambidexterity to date, and these lend provisional support to their configurational nature, but also highlight inconsistency. For example, Lisboa, Skarmeas and Saridakis () find four types of well‐performing firms (two with EO elements, exploration and exploitation present; one with only risk‐taking present and other constructs absent; and one with proactiveness and ambidexterity present and with innovativeness and risk‐taking absent). Jacobs et al .…”

The performance drivers of family firms have spawned considerable research interest. Almost exclusively this research has relied on independent sets of explanatory variables in linear analyses. These analyses mask the complex interdependencies that are likely to exist among key success factors, leading to faulty theory and misspecified implications for practice. As treatment, the authors propose a configuration approach to family firm performance that accounts for complex interdependencies among entrepreneurial, innovation and family influence conditions. Using a fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis of a sample of 129 Finnish family firms, the authors identify sufficient conditions with regard to the existence or absence of antecedent conditions to family firm performance. These conditions include entrepreneurial orientation, exploration and exploitation activities that form causal paths towards family firm performance. To enrich the analysis, the authors theorize and empirically analyse how these conditions might differ in family firms with high and low levels of family influence. They deepen the current understanding of configurations that promote the performance of family firms, offer important implications for theory and practice, and set new directions for future research on the strategic management of family firms. The results are also virtually identical and insensitive to change across subjective and objective performance measures.

“…FsQCA identifies alternative combinatorial antecedent conditions that lead to an outcome, and hence addresses more convincingly the problems of linearity, nonsynergistic effects, and unifinality (Lisboa et al, 2016). The aim of fsQCA is to identify necessary and sufficient conditions for an outcome (Ragin, 2000).…”

This study draws on the resource-based, dynamic capabilities, and organization learning theories to investigate the internal mechanisms through which intrapreneurship influences current and future export performance. Specifically, this approach views the four distinct dimensions of intrapreneurship, namely new business venturing, innovativeness, self-renewal, and proactiveness, as critical resources, and export market exploitation and exploration as important market learning capabilities. The study posits that such resources and capabilities collectively contribute to improve export performance outcomes. The study develops a theoretically anchored model and employs both structural equation modelling and fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis to test the model relationships. These two techniques have different foci: the net effect of an independent variable on an outcome variable and the conditions that lead to a given outcome, respectively. The study results provide substantial support for the theoretical framework and a valuable addition to the scant literature on the roles of intrapreneurship and market exploitation and exploration in exporting.

“…Further, absorptive capacity enhances the effects of entrepreneurial orientation on variability in innovation outcomes (Patel, Kahtamaki, Parida, & Wincent, ). Lisboa et al () studied the causal mechanism of entrepreneurial orientation on firm performance where they deconstructed entrepreneurial orientation into innovativeness, proactiveness, and risk‐taking dimensions. Welsh et al () have undertaken innovativeness, proactiveness, and risk taking as the dimensions of entrepreneurial orientation in their study on Chinese microenterprises.…”

“…Decision making has a close tie with entrepreneurial orientation. Entrepreneurial orientation in a small business improves business performance when businesses emphasize on proactiveness, risk taking, and innovativeness (Lisboa, Skarmeas, & Saridakis, 2016;Panda, 2014a). Microfinance literature provides a long list of instances where microfinance interventions led to entrepreneurship and microenterprise development (Hickson, 2001;Khandker, Samad, & Khan, 1998;Panda, 2009bPanda, , 2016a.…”

“…Further, absorptive capacity enhances the effects of entrepreneurial orientation on variability in innovation outcomes (Patel, Kahtamaki, Parida, & Wincent, 2015). Lisboa et al (2016) Entrepreneurial orientation literature in microfinance-supported microenterprises discussed two dimensions of entrepreneurial orientation, that is, proactiveness (Filis, 2004;Panda, 2009aPanda, , 2016a and risktaking behavior (Mel, McKenzie, & Woodruff, 2009;Panda, 2009a;Thapa, 2015). However, the innovativeness in microenterprises did not find a place in microenterprise literature.…”

This study was conducted to examine the influence of intermediation services on microfinance‐supported microenterprises. Information was collected by using a structured pretested questionnaire from a random section of 366 respondents (from 366 enterprises) from 2 Indian states. Econometric models were used to test the hypotheses, and reliability and validity testing and data analysis were also performed. It was noticed that proactiveness and risk‐taking ability of microenterprises were enhanced when intermediaries emphasize more on the business development services, financial intermediation services, and social intermediation services. Intermediation services of intermediaries impacted on entrepreneurial orientation of microenterprises where networking of microentrepreneurs positively moderated the relationship.
